@MiaWinter Yeah, that makes sense. I just wish I could figure out the smell myself!

A New Jersey man is sharing with CBC News the ordeal he endured after being wrongly jailed following a misidentification through Idemia facial recognition technology, the same system recently implemented by police in Ontario's Peel and York regions. A lawsuit blames the “misuse of biased technology.”

@MiaWinter I awkwardly have to ask things like this too. I can't really smell when food or drink is starting to go bad (or at least, I can't tell)...so I always have to ask a partner to check.

In 2022, TSA stopped me and was like “what is this” and I had to explain that I recently bought an undersea internet cable because I thought it would be a cool thing to have

Recently one of my family members (whom I love very much) thought it was trash and threw it away. So if you or someone you know has an undersea cable to spare, I would love to buy it!
